Technokunst is always ready to bring some coolness into the summer by heavy German techno. Alex Bau’s precise industrial sounds and the visuals by Glowing Bulbs will make you stand still and admire, then dance until the sun comes up over the river.

Noises from the Neighborhood Special
20.00
NVC has always been a fan of D-Nox & Beckers, and now they are bringing them to Hungary! For fans of techno, progressive house and European electro, this German dj & producer duo is responsible for many summer hits, including Jet Lag Slave and Son of a Pitch. Support djs will be Dr. Zoidberg, Subotage, Ioda, and Sinko of the NVC crew.
Vienna has always been a cultural centrepoint even for Hungarians, so we are always curious what is trendy there at the moment. This summer, it sure will be 50s to 70s inspired retropop, with acts like singer Marla Blumenblatt and psychedelic rock dj Tiga Lily. But the most danceable tunes will come from Austrian producer Tanz Baby! and his five-piece live band. Just Tanz!
Boysetsfire Gallows Bane 17
19.30
BoySetsFire is an emblematic band of late hardcore and post-hardcore that made many memorable performances inside the ship’s main hall. Again, they arrive with a different line-up, having Robert Ehrenbrand back on bass, while Gallows play in Hungary for the first time in front of hundreds of eager hardcore punk fans. Don’t miss Bane and Shell Beach playing before them!
Koffin Kats 01
19.30
You cannot see a psychobilly show with international acts too often so you should take the opportunity to see Koffin Kats playing. Founded in Detroit, Koffin Kats are one of the most popular midwest psychobilly band with punk influences.and now they are taking over Europe again – in not more than 90 days! On this evening you can see two more ten-year-old trios: thekillingscreens and The Silver Shine rockabilly bands from Budapest.

Spanish music straight from the popular summer resort Malaga! Laura Insausti has already sung in pop, rock and funk bands, and has turned towards jazz and swing with Dry Martina. Enchanting Manoya is also known from another project: she is the voice of Hungarian electro act Neo. Still keeping her former band, she has gone solo to do some quality experimental downtempo music with her friends.
Airbourne was founded in 2003 by the O’Keefe brothers and now they are releasing their third album Black Dog Barking. Pumping new life into the Australian hard rock scene, these guys know how to make everyone crazy again for old-fashioned idols. Enjoying the support of such big names like Lemmy from Motörhead, they have already overtaken the whole word. For our interview with drummer Ryan O’Keefe, see page 6.
Akua Naru, Terakaft 15
19.30
As the hottest new female act in hiphop, Connecticut-born Akua Naru is soulful and witty, and mastered the art of spoken word at a young age. Now she resides in Cologne, Germany and is more and more widely known for her wise lyrics and intense performances. Of the other part of this special evening, we will have Terakaft may be familiar to the fans of Tinariwen, as it was founded by former guitarists. If you have never heard Tuareg blues from the desert, this is your chance!

Did you know that there is a Hungarian indie rock band that has been to SXSW and performed a series of shows in the States before B-52’s? The Moog have made it and they are not finished at all – though they are back at the country to satisfy old fans and show us some new tunes. Evil Men Have No Songs also have a massive fanbase, and speaking of the new project of EZ Basic’s Árpád Szarvas , it is not much of a surprise.

Another full-boat party at A38, this time with a lot of experimental electronica brought to you by Monkey 6 and Farbweschel Label. In the first etap you can hear newcomers Imre Kiss, AIWA and Danada Cry on the rooftop terrace, and then, with the same ticket you can go see 12z, Route 8, Silf, Norwell and Bergi, who have been present for years with different takes on acid/techno music.

20.00
Victor Ferreira aka Sun Glitters is a true gem in experimental electronica, fusing dubstep and wonky with haunting melodies and creating a warm atmosphere. You can call your music shoegaze or chillwave but it is much more: if you are into Gold Panda and Holy Other, you should check him out on this lazy Sunday evening. The warm-up will be Zomblaze of Chi Recordings with his hiphop, dubstep and jungle beats.
Danish prodigy Brian Batz started making music in the intimate atmosphere of his own home and soon reached the complexity that required a five-piece band while playing live. Indicating the otherwordliness of the music, musicians wear Donnie Darko-esque masks on stage that you can also prepare yourself – they have just uploaded the instructions on their Facebook. Before them, Hungarian experimental duo Kanagawa will play in the last rays of sunlight.
Spindrift
Black Heat Shujaa, Your 33 Black Angels 30
20.00
Are you in love with westerns? Do you consider bands like BRMC and Kyuss the best ever? How about some psychedelia? These three bands residing in the USA are bringing back everything that is real in rock: the speed, the adventure and the skills. Enjoy psych-rock at it best from Spindrift and Blaak Heat Shujaa inspired by the Los Angeles deserts and Your 33 Black Angels from New York for the price of two beers! And don’t forget your beer…
Bin-Jip 07
20.00
Veronika Harcsa jazz-singer is one of those charming and talented personalities we are the most proud of. Now that she has qualified for the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, she barely gives concerts in Hungary this is why we are lucky to have her with her triphop band Bin-Jip on this Friday and as a guest of impro project Random Trip the next Tuesday. Once you see her, you will understand why does a whole country adore this former IT-expert with the coy smile.
Bajdázó Zombori 20
19.00
Poetic folk from the loneliest mountains of Hungary with a touch of ambient and storytelling. Bajdázó is the favourite of the critics, while Zombori is a runner-up in the world music category at this year’s Talentometer and will play on our stage just three days before the contest final. Cirkusz-ka is the acoustic folk duo of Anna Szlávics and Tamás Rock, and they will start the show on this evening.
Balkan Party 22
20.00
A shiprocking Balkan dance party again with Guča Partyzans Brass Band with Serbian Sestre Vujanovic and two djs: Matics and Vucko. With one pass you can enter both the concert hall and the rooftop, each with its own dancefloor but considering the Balkan temper, everything can be a dancefloor… Eat, drink, and dance like you are in a Kusturican wedding – we will provide you with everything needed.

6 ON THE COVER
“We wanted to make a really good rock album“ interview with Ryan O’Keefe of Airbourne
What’s the story behind your new video Live It Up? We had fun making it, we have shot it back in Melbourne, Australia. The concept behind it was to just live it up, have a good time. We had this great idea of getting all that vintage cars to circle all around while we perform, and get a couple of ladies like we always do… It was comin’ out really well. At the moment, you are in Springfield. How’s the American tour going so far? Yes, we’re on the ride with Shinedown. It goes really good, we started back on 17 April and we did six headline shows and we’re doing a bunch of before shows for Shinedown. It’s been really great. We’re still in America, but we’re nearing the end of the tour. How’s the reception of the new songs by the audience? Yes, we haven’t really played from the album anything else than Live It Up at the moment, since we haven’t come out with the rest of the songs. If we play Live It Up during the show, we get a good response from the audience, and they are always very positive, everyone seems to be liking it. What was the concept behind the album? We wanted to go back to our roots a bit more, just wanted to make a really good rock album again. In a while we wanted to go back and make an album a little bit more like Runnin’ Wild, just old rock and roll tracks. We had a good amount of time to get this album right, so we concentrated on writing it. Kind of went back to our old material, and we definitely got the result that we were looking for.

Is the ”Black Dog” rock and roll itself? The name Black Dog Barking was something Joel and I have come up with. There’s a few different meanings to it. What we’ve been through with the band during our carreer, the highs and the lows and the hardship of founding a rock and roll band. Just riding your own wild kind of thing and that’s just one meaning to it. But to me it’s just a cool fitting album title, just a rocking name. Many people first heard your songs in video games. Do you play a lot of video games in the nightliner? When we can and are not in a hurry, a couple of guys play video games and computer games on laptops, so yeah, we love to play video games. EA Games put a few of our songs on their games, which is a great thing, because a lot of people likes to play them. I think it is a modern form of radio, getting our material spread. Do you play before the shows? Sometimes we do, depends on schedule. Any spare time we get we just try to kill it in the bus, try to kick back, watching movie or playing a game. We’re pretty busy, once we pull up at the venue in a new town, with the soundcheck and all that. And because we’re doing a support show at the moment, we have to get upstage a bit earlier. Do you have any messages to the Hungarian fans? We can’t wait to get to Europe. There’s less than two weeks left of this American tour, and we can’t wait to get to Hungary. It’s been a very good year and a half since we were there last time for some festival. See you on stage. Rock and roll!
IN CASE OF SUNSHINE Lick the Click! Sunburst
Every Saturday from 2 PM Isu, Crimson, and Chrom are on the decks with the perfect accompaniment for a chilling summer afternoon. It is the third year that you can listen to the finest minimal-tech-house music over a drink with friends on the terrace and the only condition is the sun shining brightly. If so, get your sunglasses and let’s meet on the boat!
Friday at A38 This series has started last year for the fans of jungle, garage and liquid drumandbass by different djs each week. This time the Bladerunnaz crew, including Ren, Spinline, Mentalien Markov, Statik and many more, are fine with people sitting on the dancefloor, sipping cocktails or eating a burger, but if you feel like dancing, you can start your Friday night party here – from 5 PM already.

HISTORY A38 is the reincarnation of ‘Tripolie’, a Ukranian stone-carrier ship, built in 1968. The name comes from Artemovsk, which is the ship prototype, and this one was the 38th unit of the ‘Artemovsk’ class. The re-building project lasted for one and a half years. Architects, ship engineers, acoustic designers, electricians, musicians and promoters contributed their skills and experience to make it a both artist and audience friendly place. After years of constant development, A38 has become a cultural entertainment centre with international programme, a restaurant, five bars, one main concert hall, open-air terraces and lounges all in one aboard as one of the most fascinating venues in Budapest. Since its opening it became the flagship of Budapest nightlife, a must-see spectacle on the Danube with scenic view and one of Europe’s coolest clubs, which has been voted ‘The World’s Greatest Bar’ – according to the poll of Lonely Planet in 2012.

Ágnes Bihari: Face to Face After her 2011 Cuban-themed exhibition Tránsito Privado, Ágnes Bihari won a Mexican national scholarship. On the occasion of her next exhibition, she presents us her year spent there. Bihari founds her visual experiences and the subjects of her photos by chance – on the streets, in subways, on rooftops, at doorways. Holding the camera in her hand, she finds herself face to face with strangers and does not get embarrassed, but raises trust in the native inhabitants that know the foreign land better. The people on the photos turn towards the camera with a real naturality like they have always been familiar with it, like the photographer was wearing some kind of camouflage, though we know it’s on the contrary.
june 18 july 07 Bihari is brave: she never melts into her environment, but she is always part of the world she wants to be seen. The exhibition contains portraits of three and landscapes of Mexico’s pictoral sceneries and urban pampas, embedding the unknown faces into their own atmosphere, their streets, houses, offices and their magical mountains and slopes. The exhibition will be opened on 18 June at 8 PM by photography historian Károly Kincses. Music by András Wahorn and Ádám Balázs.
A38-MVM Light Painting presents:
Film in the Window - IM 2.0 ”The 20th anniversary of the Intermedia Department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts is going to be the first occasion they their work at A38. The core of this specific installation and supplementary projections is the film that can never be directly seen or touched in theatres, only the incorporeal illusion projected by the light passing through it. The transparent curtain of films, the swirling film rolls and the sequence of images on them can be interesting on their own right, as in the age of analog and digital electronics, not everybody thinks of films obviously like that.” (Ágnes Háy) At Mária Rigó’s editing course, students have been working with 35 and 16 mm film strips for almost ten years, Film in the Window will be the never before seen showcase of this work at the Intermedia Department.
